One factor explaining why women choose unnecessary high-tech births is their lack of knowledge of the research. Presenting research in Lamaze class can be difficult; however, teaching tools described in this article may help facilitate evidence-based discussions. The recently published Journal of Perinatal Education supplement issue written by the Coalition for Improving Maternity Services Expert Work Group gives Lamaze educators a rich resource to pass along to expectant parents.
一个解释女性选择不必要的高科技分娩方式的因素是她们对相关研究缺乏了解。在拉玛泽分娩课程中呈现研究内容可能会有难度；然而，本文中描述的教学工具或许有助于推动基于证据的讨论。改善孕产妇服务联盟专家工作组撰写的最近发表的《围产期教育杂志》增刊为拉玛泽教育工作者提供了丰富的资源，可传递给准父母。
